Forgive and Heal are the words of advice that she has passed on at every opportunity. She was just 10 years old when she was sent to Auschwitz.

Before the dictator, there was a boy in love. Before the wars, the hatred, and the bloodshed, there was a silent teenager who watched a girl walk by every day without ever saying a word. That boy was Adolf Hitler. That girl was Stefanie Rabatsch. How can an unspoken infatuation become a seed of darkness? This psychological portrait dives into one of the most disturbing emotional paradoxes of the 20th century: Hitler’s adolescent obsession with a young girl he never approached — and how that silent longing evolved into inner repression, romantic delusion, and eventual historical ...

For decades, James MacGregor Burns has been one of the great masters of the study of power and leadership in America. Now he turns his eye to an institution of government that he believes has become more powerful---and more partisan---than the Founding Fathers ever intended: the Supreme Court.

Congo is rich. Swaths of the war-torn African country lack basic infrastructure, and, after many decades of colonial occupation, its people are officially among the poorest in the world.

Recently, this veritable periodic table of resources has become extremely valuable because these metals are essential for the global “energy transition” — the plan for wealthy nations to wean themselves off fossil fuels by shifting to sustainable forms of energy, such as solar and wind.

But when his mother committed suicide upon learning she had inoperable brain cancer, Morgan's life changed dramatically. He was no longer a carefree playboy; he was a man searching for meaning. He found that meaning at the controls of an airplane, and in the flak-and fighter-filled skies over Occupied France and Nazi Germany.

Five months after being deployed to Iraq, Lima Company's 1st Platoon became one of the first American forces to enter Fallujah, where they encountered some of the most intense hand-to-hand combat since World War II.
